Code and Core Remove Empty P Tags

The Code and Core Remove Empty P Tags plugin helps keep your WordPress content clean by removing:

• Empty <p> tags
• <p> tags that contain only  

A checkbox is added in the default WordPress editor for posts and pages.
When the box is checked, the plugin cleans your content during save.

This plugin does not work automatically — it only runs when the user chooses to clean the content.

Important Limitations:

• ✔️ Only works with Posts and Pages
• ✔️ Works only with the default WordPress editor
• ✔️ Cleaning happens only when the checkbox is selected
• ❌ Does not work with Custom Post Types
• ❌ Does not work with Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, or other page builders

Key Features

• ✔️ Removes empty <p> tags
• ✔️ Removes <p>&nbsp;</p>
• ✔️ Checkbox inside the editor allows manual cleanup
• ✔️ Lightweight and simple
• ❌ Not automatic — cleaning happens only if enabled
• ❌ No effect on custom post types or page builders

How It Works

1. Edit a post or page using the WordPress default editor.
2. A checkbox will appear labeled: “Remove empty paragraphs and non-breaking spaces”
3. When the checkbox is checked, the plugin scans your content and removes:
   • <p></p>
   • <p>&nbsp;</p>
4. The cleaned content is saved; the original content remains unchanged unless you choose cleanup.

Why Use This Plugin?

• Avoid unwanted spacing caused by blank paragraphs
• Keep HTML cleaner for better readability
• Great for bloggers, editors, and developers
• No configuration required
• Provides manual control instead of automatic cleanup
